/ “…unlikely museum..”

Cambodia is a land of traditions. In its countryside, the beliefs and objects of remote origins that remain are manifold. Theam’s Gallery is an invitation to discover and immerse ourselves into Khmer culture through its architecture, its everyday objects or even traditional musical instruments. Each bears testimony to the story and the thought of a people of rice-farmers, whose religious beliefs blend nature spirits, Hindu deities and Buddha. Numerous visual and spiritual references that are conducive to feed the traveler’s reflection, as well as it inspires the work of the artist and designer, Theam.
